Fleetwood Mac played the Jones Beach Theatre in July of 1990 with the lineup that included Rick Vito and Billy Burnette replacing Lindsay Buckingham on guitars. The “Behind the Mask” tour would not be the last time Fleetwood Mac and Buckingham would have their differences, and I did get to see the iconic lineup perform a couple of times, to include the Classic East two day fest at Citifield, before the band shut it down for the foreseeable future at this point. I actually emerged myself in a two disc Fleetwood Mac greatest hits collection recently and reminded myself of the incredible musicianship and voluminous classic songs the band pushed out during the height of their popularity. The amount of legitimate hits on this compilation was kind of mind blowing; Fleetwood Mac were never one of my favorite acts but their songs dominated the radio airwaves for so long you might take what they have accomplished for granted. Squeeze opened the show making for a great double bill. Squeeze is right up there with Cheap Trick as being one of the consistently great opening acts for arena headliners through the years.

Skies the Limit

Rock on!
